Despite significant health campaigns targeting sugary soft drinks and scientific research linking them to chronic health issues, American soda consumption remains high. A 2020 study highlighted 2.2 million new cases of type 2 diabetes and 1.2 million of cardiovascular disease attributed to these beverages. Various legal attempts to hold companies like Coca-Cola accountable have largely failed due to effective PR strategies that obscure health risks associated with its products. As outlined in the new book "Sweet and Deadly," Coca-Cola employs tactics similar to those of the tobacco industry, leveraging disinformation campaigns to downplay soda’s harmful effects.
Decades of health campaigns and scientific research have led to reduced soda consumption, yet average daily consumption remains significant, with many unaware of soda's health risks.
